I was against TO even coming to Dallas and was shocked when we did sign him. Then I got used to him, didn't like or really dislike him. He ticked me off with one too many dropped balls when he himself was calling others out for dropping balls. Anyway, he grew on me so much so I had "I Have My Popcorn Ready" sign and bought him popcorn at the Patriots game.
I agree he is a great WR, but his greatness has not been shown in Dallas. He is what 35 now? He's not young. I think he was just a good WR in Dallas. Not saying he was horrible, just not seeing the greatness I was hoping we would get with him.
Then you have to look at ALL the hoopla (what I really want to say will be censored) that comes with him. I was prepared for it, I do have some Eagle fans for friends, but geez. It gets SO old! Yes, the media makes it 10 times worse and message boards blow it out of proportion too, BUT if TO was so innocent as he claims there would NOT be this much attention on him. He's giving enough crap to the media to help stir the pot. I don't care who you are -- this attention does affect play on all players!
Our chemistry needs a lot of work, TO or NO TO. I was LIVID when I saw Crayton and Newman on ESPN saying we play better when TO gets the ball. WTH! If OUR players are thinking like that then they need to grow up. Players - offense and defense should play better no matter who gets the ball or who has more receptions! I think we are going to mesh better without him. Our locker room was divided and we can't have that. I think A LOT of our players need to learn to shut up and just play ball and say screw the media.
Now, Jerry just needs to sign Miles Austin!
